As the UK's leading personal trainer and best-selling fitness author; Matt Roberts presides over a multi-faceted fitness and nutrition empire including 4 personal training centres, a series of 8 books published in over 20 countries, fitness DVDs, and an intelligently designed, technologically advanced exercise clothing range. Inspired by the body-conscious trend sweeping the US, Matt spotted a gap in the market for exclusive one-toone personal training and opened his first private Mayfair gym in 1995, at the age of 22. It was the first of its kind in Europe and its success resulted in the opening of three further state-of-theart London gyms: 2005 saw the opening of the flagship Matt Roberts Personal Training Centre on Berkeley Street, the largest one-to-one training facility in the world; in 2008 he launched a state-of-the-art training studio in the City and another in the iconic Jack Straw's Castle in Hampstead, while 2009 saw the launch of his latest studio in Chelsea. Matt's team now comprises more than 70 personal trainers, Pilates teachers, dieticians and physiotherapists in London. Matt's many television appearances and columns in national newspapers and magazines have gained him a celebrity following which has included the likes of Madonna, Naomi Campbell and Trudi Styler. Matt is the main fitness expert for BBC Radio 1 and BBC Breakfast, writes regular features for The Daily Telegraph, Glamour and many other titles and has worked as nutritional and fitness consultant for brands including Sony, Gillette and Danone. As an honorary professor at The London Metropolitan University, Matt delivers lectures and is undertaking research into several areas of fitness including the effect of exercise on children with asthma, and is working on developing a solution for the low level of child participation in PE in schools.
